大部分猫咪小时候就和猫妈妈学习使用猫砂盆,但刚收养的流浪猫或野猫可能就不知道该如何使用猫砂盆。[1] 有时候,接受过良好训练的猫咪甚至也会突然“失忆”,开始在家里随地大小便。训练猫咪使用猫砂盆时,如果它出现这样的一时疏忽,可能是因为健康问题,也可能就只是它的品味和喜好而已。[2] 无论你是在训练刚收养的,从未用过猫砂盆的猫咪,还是在重新训练早已养了很久的猫咪,下面的方法能帮你让猫咪早日走上正轨。
步骤
- 不要朝猫咪大吼大叫。要记住猫咪并不想制造麻烦。可能猫咪的身体出了点问题,也有可能你给它的猫砂盆或猫砂用起来不舒服。朝猫咪大吼或者大声训斥猫咪只能让它害怕你,这样做对解决问题毫无益处。[31]
- 把排泄物放到该放的地方。如果猫咪在盆外大小便,别直接就把便便扔进垃圾桶,可以用纸巾把便便拾起来放进猫砂盆。这样是在提醒猫咪,因为猫咪会闻到气味,就会把大小便和猫砂盆联系起来。[32]
- 把食物和水放到那个问题地点。如果猫咪继续在猫砂盆外大小便,而且还比较喜欢某个地点,就把食物和水放到它喜欢大小便的那个地点。猫咪天生就不喜欢在食物和水旁边大小便,这样可以促使顽固的猫咪停止在盆外大小便。[36]
- 临时把猫咪关起来。如果猫咪继续在猫砂盆外大小便,可以考虑将猫咪关一段时间。这只能是在试过其他方法都无效后,万不得已才做的。[37]广告
- 检查是否出现呕吐、腹泻和体重下降。有些猫咪感染胃肠道炎症,引起猫科动物炎性肠病(IBD)。炎性肠病最常见的症状有呕吐、腹泻、体重下降和昏睡倾向。有些患有炎性肠病的猫咪会出现便血。胃肠道感染的部位不同,出现的症状也不同。如果猫咪遭受上述任意一种症状,都需要尽快带猫咪看兽医。[50]广告
小提示
- 千万不要因为猫咪在猫砂盆外大小便而惩罚猫咪。
- 如果搬入新家,最好让猫咪先呆在家中一块小地方。这样能让猫咪有安全感,而且要知道猫砂盆的位置,减少在家中随地大小便的可能性。
- 选择一个猫咪进出方便的位置放猫砂盆。还要考虑这个位置不能经常有人打搅。
- 猫咪使用猫砂盆时就给它奖励,这样猫咪就不会误认为这是在惩罚它。
- 如果家里养狗,确保猫咪大小便时没有狗来打搅。
警告
- 如果猫咪大小便时有明显的痛苦,粪便或尿液中带血,应立即带猫咪去看兽医。
